Selangor Sultan attends religious ceremony at Lumut naval base


LUMUT: The Sultan of Selangor, Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah, who is also the captain-in chief of the Royal Malaysian Navy (RMN) arrived at the Lumut Naval Base here Friday (April 26) to attend a Yasin recital, tahlil and special sermon as part of the RMN's 90th anniversary celebration.

On arrival at 12.13pm, His Royal Highness was greeted by Defence Minister Datuk Seri Mohamed Khaled Nordin and Navy chief Admiral Tan Sri Abdul Rahman Ayob.

Also present was Honorary First Admiral of RMN Datuk Muhammad Abdullah and top RMN leadership.

The Yasin recitation, tahlil and special sermon held at the RMN An-Nur Mosque also served to commemorate the victims of the tragic incident involving a Maritime Operations Helicopter (HOM-AW139) and a Fennec (M502-6) aircraft. The crash, which occurred last Tuesday, claimed the lives of 10 RMN members and officers.

The Yasin recital and tahlil led by Navy Headquarters religious director Lieutenant Colonel Ahmad Kamil Abdullah was attended by approximately 3,000 RMN personnel. - Bernama
